String of Hearts
This is general guidance. Adjust watering and care for your home's light, temperature, humidity, potting mix, container, and season.
The string of hearts spills off the top shelf in delicate, silver-marbled strands that get longer every month. It’s a semi-succulent at heart, so the fastest way to kill it is kindness — too much water. I let it dry out completely between drinks, give it bright light for the best marbling, and untangle the strands now and then so they cascade cleanly.
